Love at First Lick

“I am the happiest person in the world right now!”
exclaims senior sociology major Sydney Appelbaum after this sloppy
smooch with Lucy, a 4-year-old black lab. Lucy was among more than
20 certified therapy dogs brought to campus at the end of the fall
semester for UB Libraries’ Stress
Relief Days. Begun on the South Campus in 2011 to help students
cope with finals-week stress, the program has since expanded to the
North Campus. “It’s become an eagerly anticipated
tradition,” says UB Libraries communications officer Kathleen
Quinlivan (MLS ’87).
